I taught her this important skill set...only last time...

It was a surprise for her parents....

Because, duh, everyone knows such skillsets are best practised right before bed time...

The mathmatical abilities one must have to quietly---on tip toes no less, move several tons of animals, from one young woman's closet right across the upstairs, right to mommy and daddy's bed...

And to do so without giggling....

And to do so while hoping that they remain hypnotized by Dancing with the Stars...

And then to balance all those animals,

without disturbing the sleeping cat Theo,

or getting ratted out by a huge, not supposed to be upstairs, like ever, Golden Retriever Midas,

is like really really hard.

Which offered another life coaching opportunity:

How to talk yourself out of big trouble.

Right after bed time...
